We are delighted to launch the 6th year of this 90k charity cycle from Galway to Inishbofin, with option of a shorter 45k from Maam Cross. This event is open to cyclist of all levels and promises to be both challenging and fun filled with the option of an overnight stay on the island of Inishbofin

90k Route …Galway-Moycullen-Oughterard-Maam-Recess-Clifden-Cleggan-Inishbofin (ferry crossing from Cleggan to Inishbofin).

45k Route…Cycling group regroup at Maam Cross, where cyclists participating in the shorter route will join the group. Maam-Recess-Clifden-Cleggan-Inishbofin (ferry crossing from Cleggan to Inishbofin).

This cycle is in support of local charity “Voices for Down Syndrome Galway” (www.downsyndromegalway.ie). Since its inaugural in 2013, the event has raised €125k, a staggering achievement for all involved. This year a portion of the funds raised will be allocated to a new project being run by Down Syndrome Galway. This project is based in Moycullen and aims to provide activities, services and support to children and adults with Down Syndrome in the area.
